Not even military damaged our national life like APC – Atiku

A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that not even the military damaged Nigeria’s national life and consciousness like the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The top chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) said this on Tuesday at the launch of a book: “The Loyalist.”

The National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, wrote the book that was launched in Abuja.

Abubakar, who said he was happy that various politicians were able to come together to form the ADC, asked readers to approach the book not merely as a story, but as a guide to personal and collective responsibility.

He said: “Let it guide us in the discharge of our public responsibilities.

“And may it inspire ongoing dialogue, scholarship, and action that advance justice, fairness, dignity, and opportunity for every citizen of this country.

“If there is anything positive in our recent political development, it is this coming together to rescue the country from what I consider the worst administration I have witnessed in nearly four decades of political life.

“Not even the military dictatorships before 1999 damaged our national life and consciousness in the way this administration has done.

“Many of us here were part of the formation of the APC.

“Unfortunately, what we believed would rescue the country has not happened.

“Just as we once took responsibility to come together and form a political alternative, we must again come together to ensure the emergence of a new political organisation capable of salvaging this country for the benefit of its people.”
